I go out this afternoon to do a little mowing with my 2006 ck30 hst and it won't start. The lights all work on the dash and the motor turns over. I didn't hear the fuel solenoid engage. Sure enough after pulling it out and hitting the key it will crank. Last year i had the same issue. The...

As luck would have it I was getting fuel before the hurricane hits and I got water in my ck30. I had just filled the tractor up and cranked it. I was heading across my property when it began sputtering. Upon further investigation I have found the new fuel had water in it. I had unhooked one...

I have been contemplating adding an acre or so of blueberries. There are several folks around here who have gotten into the business and seem to do very well. A friend of my dad turned his 3 acre garden into a blueberry field and grossed over $130k this year and clear over $80k. For those in...

I bought a used Kioti RFM over the weekend. It is a 72" KMR 03-72. It only needed 1 wheel replaced due to a bearing going out. At anyrate I may try to replace all of them and just be done. After calling all of the tractor dealers in my area no one wants to look up the part or give a price on...

There is a Kioti KBR03-72 finish mower listed for sale locally for $800. Who makes the Kioti mowers and is that a good price?

I have a ck30hst. I last used it about 3 weeks ago and everything was fine. I decided today to go cut the grass. It had 1/2 a tank and I topped it off in anticipation of an afternoon of work. I hit the switch the glow plug lights and it turns over but will not crank. I have 67 hours on it...

I have been toying with the idea of getting a pole barn or engineered metal building, 30x40x12. After looking long and hard I had multiple sources including contractors not tied to the business state that this Monday a major increase on steel sheeting and buildings is occuring. I kept hearing...

We will be building a house over the next few months. I will be having to run 900' of waterline. The main utility line is a new 8"-10" and about 1/4 mile from one of the water towers. A residential meter is 3/4". Obviously getting to the end of a 900' line could lose a lot of pressure and...

I have a CK30HST what size RFM would be the best? I have 8.5 acres relatively clear with sporadic trees so in regards to getting into tight spaces it isn't an issue. Will a 7' be too much for the PTO?

Me and my wife have been considering building a barn on our new property this year. She insists on the traditional looking barn (red white trim etc). I do not want center poles and want an open floorplan for my tractor and musclecars. Anyone experienced with designing these trusses? I see...

I was wondering what is a good price for a 50 hour service on a ck30hst? I called the dealer and a secretary I suppose stated it was just over a $100. I thought it would be higher.

I was using my ck30hst yesterday and had been dragging my rake. In the process I'd throw a few roots in the bucket. When I was finishing I went to empty the bucket and noticed the loader handle will now completely spin around like it is loose. Best I can figure is pulling the rake for the...

I have a ck30hst with right at 30 hours. I finally had a crew finish putting in a pond and it is now time to play. I have noticed on occassion my tractor will not move when trying to push or pull a load. Yesterday I put my tractor in low, 4x4, at 2500rpm and tried to push a few small stumps...

Anyone tried this quick connect system? It also has a gauge rod to keep the arms adjusted to the implement. It is about a 1/4 of the cost of the one advertised here.

Is there a website/store that sells a decent set of gauge wheels at a decent price? I won't be using them a whole bunch so I would rather not spend a small fortune. I have debated on trying to build my own.
